Graph API - Followed Sites returning http error code 500

Question

Hello,

since last Friday we are experiencing an error when invoking Graph API to retrieve sharepoint followed Sites
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/sites-list-followed?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

Now, the problem is also on our server installation, after an upgrade of your platform.

There is any patch that will be produced to fix it and when?

This is preventing us to run our current production activities.

Thanks

Some more information related to the bug:
The following is the error response

Hi @DiGiorgio, Veronica ,

I checked the history of service health in admin center and find the below. Maybe that could be the reason.

Did anyone find a resolution for this? - I'm seeing the issue with one specific user, has been ongoing for 14 days, other uses in the tenant work fine.

I can get the users info using the /users/xxx endpoint just fine

Answer 3

same issue

Answer 4

Microsoft updated their documentation (or technically I did after a support case) - Application permissions aren't supported for the followed sites API in case anyone else comes across this:
